I am working on my Ward family. I hope there is a list for Ward research. Here is my family: 1. Lewis WARD, b. ca.1798 in VA; m. Mary Margaret Montgomery ca.1824 in Casey CO, KY; d. bet.1870-80 in Daviess CO, IN; Children: Martha Ann; Catherine; John Lewis; Rebecca Jane; Nancy Ann; James Pius; Joseph Ezekiel; Lucy Ann; Hillary; Lavina; Mary Dorena Martina; Margaret 2. John Lewis WARD, b.1830 prob.at Casey CO, KY, m. Susan Amanda Wade Miles in 1857 at Daviess CO, IN; d. 1904 in Howell CO, MO; Children: Delphena; Joseph F.; Susanna A.; Sarah Elizabeth; Charles Louis; Alice; Mary Rachel; William Alfred; Isaac Edward; John Clayton; Margaret Ellen; Rosa Jane; George Washington 3. Charles Louis WARD, b. 1867 at Pike CO, IN; m. Minda Cooper in 1890 at Douglas CO, MO; d. 1938 at Oklahoma City, OK; Children: Chloe; Artemus Edward; Olive Sabina; Buford William; Vivian Hazel; Charles Auburn; 4. Vivian Hazel WARD, b. 1899 in Douglas CO, MO; m. James Aaron Rufus Butler in 1920 at Perry, OK; d. 1965 in Joplin, Jasper CO, MO. I have not been able to move beyond Lewis WARD for some years now. There was no family I could find in Casey CO, KY. It was as if he sprang up out of nowhere. I need suggestions on how to find a Ward in Virginia. Is Lewis a common Ward name? Thank you for anything you can think of. Judy Dixon Judith H. Dixon Joplin, MO http://www.ipa.net/~dixonj/
